The role will integrate strategy, prioritization, governance, portfolio visibility, measurement, and change management into a unified operating approach that strengthens accountability and enables consistent delivery of strategic outcomes. This executive will set the functional/department strategy for enterprise portfolio and governance, including prioritization principles, decision-rights standards, accountability expectations, performance targets, and enterprise measurement.

This includes designing and leading enterprise governance forums and operating cadences that enable timely trade‑offs, resource allocation decisions, and consistent oversight across regions and functions.

The role will be accountable for enterprise portfolio management to enable effective execution and oversight of the company’s most strategic initiatives, including portfolio governance, leadership, and prioritization. This leader will establish and scale enterprise capabilities across the full initiative lifecycle (intake, business cases, funding, resourcing, delivery oversight, interdependency management, and value realization), ensuring enterprise-wide consistency in how initiatives are governed and measured. This leader will advance the mission of the EPMO, including the design and stewardship of an accountability framework that defines targets, operational metrics, maturity standards, and transparency expectations. This role will lead enterprise change management by defining the standards, governance, capability‑building approach, and training that drive adoption, readiness, and sustained value creation. The leader will define a federated execution model that combines enterprise standards and transparency with delivery owned within business units and functions.

Together, these responsibilities ensure the enterprise has the structures, standards, and capabilities required to enable disciplined strategy execution and measurable business impact.
